Behind The Tracks: Escape To The Roof - Black Bell (Single) (2025)

With Black Bell, Escape to the Roof defy musical conventions, delivering an eleven-minute progressive rock odyssey that refuses to conform to the trend of disposable, short-form tracks. Released via Volcano Records, this ambitious suite blends powerful, heavy moments with intricate melodic passages, shifting between introspection and bursts of rhythmic intensity.

 

Composed and written by the enigmatic Warinivicious, Black Bell embodies the band’s commitment to crafting immersive sonic experiences. The track’s cinematic storytelling is reinforced by a haunting arrangement that moves seamlessly from distorted guitars and Hammond organ swells to orchestral piano interludes, culminating in a moment of poetic grandeur inspired by the works of Greek poet Ghiannis Ritsos. The band’s refusal to reveal their identities only adds to the mystery surrounding their project, encouraging listeners to focus entirely on the music.

 

Escape to the Roof have made it clear—they’re not here to follow trends. Black Bell is the first in a series of releases that promise to challenge expectations, offering listeners a deep, thought-provoking journey through progressive rock’s rich sonic landscape."
